The Casa Loma Motel in Porter Creek has had its liquor licence suspended for three weeks due to multiple infractions.

The suspension comes from the Yukon Liquor Board. The board has posted a notice on the building’s door effective Feb. 16.

The notice mentions several infractions, including serving an intoxicated person or permitting them to remain on the premises.

Other infractions include:

• selling liquor to a person who appears to be intoxicated;

• making sure the facility was clear of people within an hour of closing; and

• ensuring customers purchasing off-sales left the premises immediately.

Amelie Quirke-Tomlins of the Yukon Liquor Corporation said in an email to the Star, “The RCMP notified the Yukon Liquor Corporation of concerns about possible over-service at the establishment.

“As a result, the corporation conducted an investigation. On Feb. 16, the Yukon Liquor Corporation took enforcement action against Casa Loma Motel, based on the facts confirmed by the investigation.

“The 21-day suspension is in line with the offense penalty grid recommended in the Liquor Board policy.”

 The suspension is for three weeks, running until March 9. The facility can resume serving alcohol on March 10.

Contacted by the Star on Wednesday afternoon, Craig Tuton, who has helped manage the Centennial Street motel in the past, refused to comment on the situation.

He would only say he’s not managing the motel, but “is involved in it.”

He declined to talk about the specifics of the various offences. He would only say “that’s the penalties in the regulations.”
